Why California's a Good Place for Businesses

Los Angeles - Westside Rentals owner Mark Verge, a "serial entrepreneur" owns 21 Southland businesses. He says Sacramento can use some help fixing the California economy, but adds he'd never leave the state.

Mark Verge
"I think if you're gonna try to create jobs, you better talk to people who do create jobs. If you're gonna have heart surgery, you better talk to the guy who's done it before."

Mark Verge
"We're asking the wrong people to create jobs. We're asking career politicians to create jobs. It's not an easy thing. You can't just wave the magic wand and do it."

Mark Verge
"As a state we need to be competitive. If Nevada's coming trying to take our business, why don't we try to take business from Nevada?"

Mark Verge
"What we have, here you can't replace. Everyone always says, 'Oh, I'm gonna move to Texas or I'm moving to Oregon.' Six months later, you get the call they're moving back. You're not gonna beat California."

Mark Verge
"Everyone is dying to move out here. Every kid in Iowa, Wisconsin, wherever. Their goal is to move out here. This is the best place on earth to live."
